    Yeah cause ‘works well with a team’ or ‘can explain a down month to a client’ is about to be replaced by an LLM. Bullshit. Nothing to see here.

      tbf, when was the last time you used assembly. Your skills are rusting away. It’s time you go learn something else to keep sharp. And never forget your quick basics.

    lol. If the overlords want to hasten their overthrow, then sure.

    I can’t think of a more likely scenario that puts the rich onto dinner plates.

    Executives believe nearly half of the skills that exist in today’s workforce won’t be relevant just two years from now, thanks to artificial intelligence.

    1. Executives are such dumbasses

    2. That is literally all this “study” did. Ask people how many of their skills they think will be obsoleted. This headline is ridiculous.

      Something like 9 million IT jobs in the US alone, and AI isnt going to replace them no matter how much execs hope.

      Nothing is streamlined enough for a bot to do the job. Everything in IT is so jank that only a human could hope to make sense of it, and the jank is unique at each buisness. Even the “low code/no code” tools that are being pitched create wild problems with data governance/logging/monitoring/redundacy/backups/etc. The “answer” to IT complexity increases the IT complexity.

      Maybe AI can help streamline things going forward for new, greenfield companies, but millions upon millions will still need humans to fix their horrors.

      Looking forward to goat farming within 20 years. I’m not even joking.
